being the best shot in the Chicago, st.
raul d. Milwaukee Gun club, next to
"Bogardus" Chamberlin, of whose
pr0weSs as marksman, the readers of
the GLOBE have been already informed.
MI. HarriSOn'S connection with the club
Is only casual, as he does not take
mucn interest in sport, only OCCASION
ally lndulging in hunting or fishing
trip for recreation simply. Like Presi-
dent Cleveland, he courts relief from
business cares by seeking perfect rest
In scenes alOof from the roar of the mo
tor and the blare of the Columbia or
cheStra. Once in the forest dell, he
eommunes with nature, and this is
the only kind of a communion
he has ever been known to
attend. He has a positive adherence
tor dogs, and the late-lamented ''Ben'
and the imported setter Troy" are the
only CANNES he has ever consented
should ride in the hunting car, and
they, respecting his feelings, always
kept out OF sight as much as possible.
MI Mr. harrison possesses a deep
bass voice Of great richness,
the Cradle of the Deep have I literal IN
and actually been known to rock era
die. He is enc of the early settlers of
the Corners" and it is owing princi-
pally to his tireless energy that this
center of commercial activity has ar
rived at its present prominence, and to-
day possesses within the radius of its
four corners bank, newspaper, two
hotels, drug store, bakery, confection-
cry store, and poStoffice building

A ready-Inade clothing store and per-
manent organ grinder are alone lacking
to completely fill the wants of the citi-
Zens OF the Corners" who look to Mr..
Harrison to secure these requisites of
metropolitan life. Several lawyers and
doctors have settled in the vicinity,
Justice Abel has established his court
in a convenient location, Ingelwood
spring water is received daily, so it is no
longer necessary for resident of the
corners" to go outside of its sacred
precincts for the necessities or luXurieS
of life.
